This subject is dear to my heart but frankly low level priority.
I looked at a way for our product, Intalio|BPP, to interact with a XMPP server. Apparently, there are some libraries that deal with this. The XMPP4R library, the XMPP lib that comes with ServiceMix, are two alternatives.
I tried to use XMPP4R with JRuby, but apparently there is a bug in JRuby that makes it hang. I never got the message through anyways.
I don’t feel like playing with ServiceMix.
So, to the heart of the matter: I asked the guys on jabber.org if they have a WSDL to interact with the server.
I understand that the server may have bindings with XMPP, eventually HTTP ?
I have seen reports about Axis2 supporting XMPP as transportation layer, so eventually we could get that.
What do you think ?
Now the folks on jabber.org never came back to me. Am I missing something ? Is there another place where I should be looking ?
I’m sorry, but is that BPP or BPM??
Hi Fernando, BPP stands for Business Process Platform. We want to not only address BPM, but also surround it with enough applications and components that it becomes a platform. The XMPP server connection is one aspect, but you should also look at our BAM, our Business Rules Engine, our Database Connector, etc.
